In den Garten wollen wir [gehen]1, Wo die schönen Rosen [stehen]2, Da stehn der Rosen gar zu viel, Brech' ich mir eine, wo ich will. Wir haben gar öfters beisammen gesessen, Wie ist [mir mein Schatz]3 so treu gewesen? Das hätt' ich mir nicht gebildet ein, Daß mein Schatz so falsch könnt' sein. Hört ihr nicht den Jäger blasen In dem Wald auf grünem Rasen, Den Jäger mit dem grünen Hut, Der meinen Schatz verführen tut. Hört ihr nicht den Trompeter blasen, In der Stadt auf der Parade? Den Trompeter mit dem Federbusch, [Der meinen]4 Schatz verraten tut.
J. Brahms sets stanzas 1-3
1 Weismann: "geh'n"
2 Weismann: "steh'n"
3 Weismann: "mein Schatz mir"
4 Weismann: "Der mir meinen"

Anem al jardí on es troben les formoses roses, allà hi ha moltes roses, en colliré una, on jo vulgui. Sovint seiem ensems, m’era fidel el meu tresor? No m’hagués pogut mai imaginar que la meva estimada fos tan falsa. No sentiu el corn del caçador a l’herba verda del bosc, el caçador amb el barret verd, que ha seduït el meu tresor? No sentiu sonar les trompetes, a la ciutat, a la desfilada? El trompeter amb el plomall, que ha traït el meu tresor.
